ReWalk Robotics

The Center for Rehabilitation Medicine at Dignity Health-Northridge Hospital is the only facility in the Valley to offer the ReWalk System™ that helps patients with a Spinal Cord Injury to walk again.

ReWalk is a wearable robotic exoskeleton that provides powered hip and knee motion to enable individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury to stand upright and walk. The system provides user-initiated mobility through the integration of a wearable brace support, a computer-based control system and motion sensors. It allows independent, controlled walking while mimicking the natural gait patterns of the legs.

ReWalk = More Than Walking

The ReWalk technology offers more than walking — users can experience potential physiological benefits as a result of being able to walk. They include:

Reduction of some medications for certain ailments

Improved bowel and bladder function

Increase of lean muscle mass

Decreased muscle spasticity

Decrease in body fat

Decreased pain and better pain management

ReWalk is the only exoskeleton system cleared by the FDA for both personal use as well as use in a rehabilitation setting in the United States.
